This weekend, I got away and spent time with Kristina. We relaxed a lot, scrapbooked, calmed the part of us that screamed for retail therapy (at the craft store), indulged in Italian food, and went to the beach. Successful.
It got me thinking. What is it about the beach that heals? I ALWAYS feel better, and yes, more tired, after a day at the beach. Is it the sand, that softens my feet? (I love that feeling). Is it the sound of the waves? Is it the sun beating down and finally getting some good vitamins? (with SPF 50 - I don't get too crazy). Is it that I'm usually with someone I enjoy spending time with? Is it the good novel I brought?
Whatever it was, it was rejuvinating. All the things I had been worried about on Saturday washed away on Sunday (figuratively... with the waves). I think if I lived near the beach or was able to go there when I got stressed, I would be much better off. I would love to go alone one day. My dream vacation is me laying on the beach for several days in a row, with many breaks (and with Mike of course :) ).
I can't wait to go back. :)
